    The restaurant always looks clean and tidy. Maybe as we dined late afternoon the roast lamb was nothing special and veg could have been hotter

    The food was good, but we had a long wait for it to appear. The restaurant was very busy so advise going early or later than 1.00pm for lunch. The refurbishment is attractive and welcoming and the staff were very cheerful and helpfu;i.

    Super Valentines evening spent, in recently refurbished, delightful surroundings. The staff were all lovely, the service prompt and the old was glorious. Not too expensive either. Would highly recommend trying it.

    I had a gift voucher for this restaurant so I used it on valentines night. it was a pleasant experience, the staff were very friendly and welcoming as we arrived early, as I was not sure how long it would take to get there. the food was lovely apart from the billionaires bomb - there was far too much salt in the sauce - the salt should have been an enhancer of the flavour rather overpowering the whole dish, which spilt my meal. Otherwise the food was lovely!

    Food was OK but the roast beef had far too much gristle and the vegetables were hardly cooked, could not cut the carrots and the stalks of the brocolli were inedible. Sweets were very good as was the service.

    A very pleasant experience. They were very busy with some large table bookings, but we were not affected at all. Well done, we will come again, thank you.

    4/10

    We were advise when we arrived that they had supplier issues and therefore only had one roast available, or steak or chicken pie. We chose to stay, the starter wasn’t bad, my slow cooked pork belly was the worst roast I had had. It was served with a whole carrot cut lengthways! The pork belly was served with a layer of fat which wasn’t even rendered, the meat and fat measured about 4 in’s by 3 ins and was about 3/4 inch thick. I couldn’t eat it!!!! How a chef allowed that to leave the kitchen, I can only say he or she should change their job. The waitress was apologetic and actually deducted it from the bill, bless her.

    Nice old time pub ambience, service quick and polite. Menu gave enough options and they can deal with food allergies. Not rushed either to clear the tables. Well done.
